Lionel Richie recovering at home after ICU hospitalization

Singer Lionel Richie is recovering at his home in Los Angeles after being hospitalized and treated in an intensive care unit following a concert in St. Louis on August 29. The 77-year-old musician reportedly felt unwell during his performance, requesting a chair while performing ‘All Night Long’.

While no official diagnosis has been released, reports indicate that doctors conducted tests for potential cardiac issues and dehydration as a precaution. This incident marks the second time in approximately two months that Richie has fallen ill during a tour performance; in late June, he experienced dizziness during an opening night in St. Paul, Minnesota, leading to the postponement of subsequent shows in Chicago and Columbus.

Richie’s children—Nicole, Sofia, and Miles—are reportedly deeply concerned about his health and have urged him to reduce his work commitments. Sources close to the family describe the singer as being in his ‘usual jovial mood’ and ‘feeling ok’ while being cared for at home.
